We use Pointsec media encryption at EPA
and have the same problem. The company lacks any Mac support for
their media encryption software. There is a workaround for their
product, however.
For Pointsec, any removable drive with
a folder called "bin" does not get encrypted. Anything
you put in the "bin" folder is ignored by the software.
Perhaps there's a similar trick with for GuardianEdge?

I had a trouble ticket in with NMCI on this issue.
I have an NMCI box, but do all of my meaningful work on an iMac.
Bottom line: There is no Mac version of GuardianEdge, nor is there
one in the works as far as I could probe. It appears you have four
choices:
1. Burn the data to optical disc on the NMCI box. From what
the help desk told me, GuardianEdge does not encrypt optical media.
2. E-mail the file elsewhere.
3. Run a virtual machine on the Mac and install the GuardianEdge
decryption software on it.
4. Bring your removable media to a Windows computer and decrypt the
data on it first.
None of these options are really a solution, only work-arounds. If
you have the means, I believe e-mailing the files would be the least painless.
The other options just add overhead to something that should be a
very simple task. I pleaded with NMCI to change the settings on my
machine and disable the "data-at-rest" encryption, but they said
that cannot be done.
This is a crummy situation. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news.

I work on an NMCI Laptop at work and when I bring work home, any items
encrypted cannot be decrypted on my MAC. Does anyone know of an "Apple"
version, or a possible work-around other than emailing every file to a
personal email from work?
